Hi All,

I have on production database, that have two Transation Logs, one of them have 120Gb of size. Do you know if is possible to delete one log file and reduce the size to the other?
I'm using the SQL server 2000.

Thanks a lot, Regards
Bruno Campos

Have a look at shrink in enterprise manager.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

You can't delete it, do log backup then shrink it. You should backup log periodically if the db is not in simple recovery mode.
